Dominique Rey is a French Canadian multidisciplinary artist whose practice delves into peripheral subjectivities, from individuals and groups of people, to performance-based works that mine the terrain of the unconscious. She is interested in examining the other within society, as well as a deep sense of being strangers to ourselves. She utilizes modes of fragmentation to explore the self within current experiences of disorientation and dislocation.
